You know? I once had an interview at a weight loss clinic where I quickly realized I didn't agree with their approach at all, I made it obvious, and knew I wouldn't get the job.

But being environmentally sound isn't of the highest importance to me either. If the job was compromising my beliefs in, for example, discrimination against a race/sexuality--I'd quit ASAP. But in the end, you gotta do what you gotta do to survive sometimes (especially if it's a temp job), you know?<br /><br />P.S.

I do about what you do, but I'm not fanatical about it. While something like what you described wouldn't be something I'd necessarily advocate, I think it would have been stupid for you to not take the position. Think about it--they would have just gotten someone else to do it. It wouldn't have actually solved anything. And you're right, it gave you money to survive. Ultimately, is it worth trying to make a point to a large corporation that probably won't even receive the message if it means losing the means to pay your rent?

I mean seriously to have gone to the store and gotten curry salad, batteries, and vitamins, really?! haha And not going to lie that I contemplated having Amy's Veggie Lasagna for dinner last night and that I'm actually having PB&J oats this morning. haha We are so on the same wave length no doubt! <br /><br /> In regards to the job situation and having to compromise...I kind of know what you mean. The job I'm in right now has to do with advertising as well and sometimes you don't always beleive in what you are saying. I'm not a liar by any means but sometimes I can't help but feel like I'm "lying" when I have to really promote something I don't necessarily agree with. I guess that's the nature of the game, though. I mean take certain studies in school...you may not agree with the info but you kind of just have to suck it up and go with it. In the printing instance, you could have just picked another small menial job but maybe the money was really needed and in those circumstances, it just comes down to survival. <br /><br />p.s. yes, i'll come clean anytime! I actually like to clean and I'm pretty darn good at it. haha Just provide that tea and I'm there! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-45541622121474043772009-06-08T17:16:20.758+01:002009-06-08T17:16:20.758+01:00i agree with cacti. it would be hard to do a temp...i agree with cacti. it would be hard to do a temp job under the circumstances, but id do it (grudgingly) - but i would like to hope that my "dream" job wouldnt pose such contradictory problems. <br /><br />to asnwer your Q on my last post - the brand of vegan "cheese" i use are called veggie slices. they melt ok, nothing like normal cheese, but its been well over a decade since ive had regular cheese, so the flavor is good enough for me to overlook the melt factor.elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940090241952213270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-26898554962852597662009-06-08T16:55:16.388+01:002009-06-08T16:55:16.388+01:00Hahahah, I am SO with you on the Amy's meals b...Hahahah, I am SO with you on the Amy's meals being so unattractive. They TASTE so good that I would probably try to make them pass as my own creation to impress someone but they are too ugly to be "real" food. Looks like frozen :( Such a shame, such a shame!<br /><br />I would not do a job if it were against my morals and beliefs. I think a career should be something you really want to do, and most likely if you really want that job, morals wouldn't be a problem. So probably the job that goes against my beliefs, is a job I don't really feel passionate about in the first place, you know what I mean?<br /><br />And thank you!

I have little issues that I stand up for like being green to some extent, but then there are a few biggies (like the controversial issue of abortion) that I won't compromise ever one or do anythign to show support for. And, if it's truly my dream job, I don't think that job would put me in a situation where I would have to compromise. <br /><br />Anyways, I hope you are gaving a good start to the week.

I want to love my job and I'll only be passionate about it if it matches my personal values. <br /><br />I think a tempt job is a different case, I've spent summers having crappy jobs where I don't agree with management decisions...but it's money! I agree with you: it's very difficult to translate all of your "words into actions" in the real world, but I think as long as people try, that's okay.<br /><br />Sorry for the essay! :)Olgahttp://healthingit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-21897634776448557682009-06-08T16:53:14.391+01:002009-06-08T16:53:14.391+01:00Yeah, I need to sign on with a temp agency, too.

So, as much as I loathe waiting tables (the hours are horrible, I rarely get to see my friends and family, and it just turns me into an all-around angrier person), I'm going to have to do it for awhile. I figure that one day I WILL be able to support myself with a job I love, and the experience of dealing with a less-than-stellar job in the service industry is great material.
